A multi-year research project funded by the British Institute of Persian Studies.
The second of four workshops – on subalterns across the entire Persianate world in the Safavid and Afsharid periods (1501-1747) – will be held at the University of Edinburgh, UK, on 19-21 May, 2017. For details of the event, see the project website.
Members of BIPS are welcome to attend, though at their own expense. Please contact Professor Newman (contact information below) in advance for details. Otherwise the workshop is closed. All presentations will, however, be videoed and available for viewing on the above site.
Videos of the first workshop, held in Edinburgh in November, 2015 are accessible via the project website. Selected papers from the whole project will be published.
